Afifah School has partnered up with Islamic Relief to respond to the earthquake in Morocco and the floods in Libya.

The powerful quake struck at 11.11pm on 8 September, killing over 2,800 people – a grim death toll that is likely to rise in the days ahead.

Blocked roads are preventing ambulances from reaching the wounded, and while officials are scrambling to clear debris, rescue and relief efforts are difficult amid the mountainous terrain, risk of landslides, and large distances.

In Libya, a powerful storm has triggered devastating flooding in Libya, killing over 6,000 people with the death toll expected to more than double in the upcoming days.

The eastern cities of Benghazi, Sousse, Derna and Al-Marj have all been affected. There has been extensive damage to the infrastructure with roads and bridges destroyed. Schools and shops have been ordered to close.

The city of Derna is home to approximately 100,000 people – where reportedly two dams have collapsed, submerging much of the area. Over 3,000 Derna residents are feared to have died in the disaster, which has been described by Libyan government minister Hisham Chkiouat as, “like a tsunami”.
